what, is it 1950?

michael phelps smoked some pot. at a college party in columbia, south carolina. a british tabloid newspaper published a photo of him doing it. (how those college kids at didn't notice the british guy with the camera wandering around the party...well, they were smoking pot.)

we get this reaction from the united states olympic committee:

"We are disappointed in the behavior recently exhibited by Michael Phelps. Michael is a role model, and he is well aware of the responsibilities and accountability that come with setting a positive example for others, particularly young people. In this instance, regrettably, he failed to fulfill those responsibilities. Michael has acknowledged that he made a mistake and apologized for his actions."

As usual, South Carolina is in the news in a bad light! I just want to know what d-bag sold that photo to the British tabloid.

Incidentally, Phelps has visited SC numerous times recently. I sat five feet from him at a redneck wings joint in my hometown over Christmas holidays. We spent about three hours obsessing over whether it was he. (Check out my FB pics for my friend's stalker camera-phone shot!) It was, in fact, Phelps.) Apparently he is/was dating a girl from SC.
